Reaction Steps

(5-Bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-methanol (500 mg, 2.7 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (840 mg, 3.2 mmol) are dissolved in 12 mL of DCM and NBS (570 mg, 3.2 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred for 4 hrs and the solvent is removed. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography to give 455 mg of 3-bromo-5-bromomethyl-pyridine.
